These pieces also came from my Great Aunt in NYC. I've tried to find out more about these pieces and haven't had any luck. The shears are forged stainless with what look like porcelain handles. They have hand painted giraffes and leaves on the front and the artist signature on back that starts with "D". The meat fork is stainless with what looks like a porcelain handle and has "uSc" marked on the back. The handles on these pieces make them a couple of my favorites in my collection. I would appreciate anyone who could offer more information on these cool pieces. Thanks!
